Ok an argument that could do loops forever, my final view on this subject, 4 x 4 vehicles have a place. 1. Farms 2. Fields 3. Racing 4. Rescue. Not central London .

exactly a place for everything, and everything in its place 😎

Hi Alan

By pure coincidence I visited the “Thorpe Camp Visitor Centre”
Museum at Tattershall Thorpe, on the B1192 south of Woodhall Spa, back in September and discovered that they have an example of this type of airfield arrester gear on display. I took a few photos (attached) – hope they are of interest. Place is well worth a visit – only a short drive north of RAF Coningsby.

I’ve also found an old shot of a Lanc with arrester hook and clearly shows arrester wires across runway. Afraid I don’t know which airfield involved.

I haven’t forgotten our other on-going pm subject – will post to your e-mail address asap.

Cheers

Richard

many thanks for posting the photos richard, i can remember seeing the winding gear inside the pit at marston moor under several feet of water ! interesting shot of the lanc too it must be a rare photo thanks again

This infiltration of small lighting units in the media must stop.The Times letters page has been plagued by such questions for months.I have since canceled my subscription.Their proliferation is,I’m glad to say,in decline,seeing as tables as such are a thing of the past (ignore what Ikea says,it’s government spin).A recent poll taken in the Brazilian rain forests came up with not a one!
Here,in my igloo,I don’t need one as the sun shines 25 hours a day and illuminates my domicile through the holes I made in the roof.
If I put a table on my wish-list to Santa,and if he delivers,I would invite the little old lady with the shopping-bag-on-wheels,the nutter that is always on the night bus,the guy who invented IMAX,and the youngest relative of The Earl Of Sandwich.
